Imaginary spaces in Wilhelm Raabe‘s Pfister‘s Mill: A study of thedescription of different spaces in Pfister‘s MillThis essay has examined how the rural space and the urban space differs intheir shaping and description in Wilhelm Raabe’s book Pfister´s Mill: Notes from a Summer Vacation.The analyzed places are the creek and the water worlds with its fauna,buildings and premisses, the industrial space, the study, and the living room.The descriptions of these places can be attributed to aspects such asenvironmental destruction, tradition, feeling and family relations.The result shows that the rural space with its descriptions is an idyll fromwhich that positive originates, sustainable and undamaged, attributed with words like “majestic” and “crystal clear” significate this space as idyllic. It isalso referred to as a familiar space where recreation also can be found. Therural space is described as a sustainable place. In contrast to this, the urban space appears as a threat, aimed against its idyllic and peaceful contrariety.The reason for this upcoming threat is found in the new industrialdevelopment. The urban space is however not only a threat, but also anecessity, when the rural counterpart on the other hand is referred to as thevital in life.
